The Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League owns the rights to free-agent DE Michael Sam (Rams). The team has reached out to him, but there is no word yet on whether he is interested in heading north of the border.

Former Kansas State QB Collin Klein was cut by the Montreal Alouettes after its first preseason game this month and has decided to return to K-State as a graduate assistant on coach Bill Snyder's staff.

Free-agent WR Chad Johnson (Dolphins) agreed to a deal with the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League. However, the team is awaiting word on whether Johnson will be given the appropriate permit to work in Canada. The team could get final word within the next seven to 10 days. A training camp assault of Johnson's wife in 2012 ultimately be what keeps him out of Canada, as people with criminal records are routinely blocked from securing permission to work in Canada.
